The Jacques Pépin Foundation supports free culinary and life skills training, through community based organizations, that helps individuals detached from the workforce gain confidence, skills, and employment in food service.
On April 7, 2022, we will host our first in-person event in over two years at The Yale Club of New York City. We look forward to celebrating our fifth anniversary and fundraising for 2022 grants and programs. Details will be available soon at jpfbenefit.org. Please send inquiries to info@jp.foundation.
On January 27, 2022, Jacques appeared as a guest on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” He made a French omelette with Jimmy and Questlove, demonstrating his signature technique, while highlighting his forthcoming book, The Art of the Chicken: A Master Chef’s Recipes and Stories of the Humble Bird.
Jacques shares quick and easy recipes in his Cooking at Home series. For a more in-depth exploration of Jacques' technique, check out “Jacques Pépin: A Legacy of Technique” online culinary course.
